I don't like their website - they're very insistent.

Since they wouldn't let me ignore their 'sign-up for a free
something-or-other, I killed it.

I got a popup and simply clicked on the red "X" to close it. No problem
to look at the rest of the website.

I didn't have any problems with the site nor did I get any popups. But
then I use the Firefox web browser with Adblock and NoScript - they get
rid of all the crap on websites nowadays and make them load faster too.
I tried using Microsoft's Internet Explorer the other day for curiosity
- first time for years and was amazed how many adverts and other crap
are on sites now. I'd only been using it for ten minutes or so when I
got a security alert about something trying to hijack the browser! So
quickly back to Firefox again.

I also have Adblock plus running, and am happy with it. I disabled
NoScript as I got fed up continually having to allow things. In
general, I have no idea whether something should be allowed to run or
not. Just looking at the NoScript webpages, there are 350 lines on the
features page and well over 1000 on the faq page. Too much information,
maybe?

Maybe I'll try again in future and persevere with it.

I don't bother looking at any of the help or faq for it. If I'm just
surfing around or following links from Google then most sites don't need
to run scripts - those that don't seem to work without them I make a
judgement call and either temporarily allow scripts for that site to run
on the page or go to a different site.

The only sites I permanently allow permissions for are those such as
online banking. This regime seems to work well. I've not picked up any
computer viruses or trojans since switching to Firefox with these
add-ons years ago. My anti-virus has never needed to kick in to try to
block anything.

The one and only time I had a virus was around five years ago when I
used to use Internet Explorer and got hit with a drive-by virus. There
was a known hole in IE and Microsoft took several months to fix it - but
by then it was too late. I think a lot of folks got hit with that one.

I found both your questions ambiguous. If you mean, do I know anything
about that website and the persons named, no. Though I may have an
opinion of anyone who plans to earn £150 from taking 10 people for a 2-
hour nature walk.

If you meant, have urglers ever come across foraging and "eating weeds"
aka wildplants and do they know anything about it, then yes.


There was a bit about foraging for free food on Countrywise last night.
Seemed to be a small group of like-minded people living in Cornwall. No
mention of a website [as far as my over tired brain can recall] so may not
be the same people.

Sorry if you had problems with my Question Janet,
I thought it was quite a simple question and un ambigious as I had
put "Eating Weeds" in inverted commas to denote the site rather than
the activity,
If I have to ask another question I will try to make it more simple3
so you don't have problems with it.
